I recently reported a bug regarding modifier keys blocking gun fire on modifier key release. While the devs did see the report and have changed the controls for the better, where now if you release the modifier key the guns still fire, it still does not respect control mapping of other actions.
My control scheme is as follows:
Fire small caliber guns: Left Ctrl + LMB, LMB
Fire large caliber guns: Left Shift + LMB, LMB
Fire additional guns: Left Shift + LMB, LMB
Examples of gun behaviour:
Before patches:
Hold LMB → fires all guns
Hold left Ctrl and hold LMB → fires small caliber guns
Release left Ctrl and keep holding LMB → fires all guns again
After patches:
Hold LMB → fires all guns
Hold left Ctrl and hold LMB → fires small caliber guns
Release left Ctrl and keep holding LMB → still firing only small caliber guns
With the new changes, to fire all guns again, you either have to release LMB and hold it down again to shoot all guns, or hold both Ctrl and Shift (with my control scheme).
I coped with this change by just mapping large caliber guns to left Ctrl + RMB, but I am curious about the opinion of the community: which modifier key behaviour do you think is best, pre patches or post patches?
- Old pre-patches behaviour
- New post-patches behaviour

Edit: heh, found another bug which affects rate of fire (not really, it’s just the sound). Gonna make another report…
